Caracas, November 5 (RHC)-- Condemning U.S. global electronic surveillance programs, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jaua said on Monday: “It's unacceptable for the US to spy on us or any government in the world.” 

He added US intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden should be protected and praised him as “a brave young man who put in evidence one of the most perverse mechanisms humans invented which is espionage against millions of men and women in the world.”

Snowden, who was granted political asylum in Russia in August, leaked two top secret US government spying programs under which the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are eavesdropping on millions of American and European phone records and Internet data from Facebook, Yahoo, Google, Apple, and Microsoft.

The NSA scandal took even broader dimensions when Snowden revealed information about its espionage activities targeting friendly countries and phone conversations and emails of 35 world leaders.
